To stop a pre-configured dial-up connection under Windows, use the following Stop Command string:
cmd /c start "Stopping Out of Band Connection" /wait /min rasdial network_connection /disconnect
where network_connection is the name of the network connection as displayed in Control Panel > Network Connections.
To stop a pre-configured dial-up connection under Linux, use the following Stop Command string:
poff network_connection
To make the OOB connection using SDT Connector:
Select the console server to connect to.
Click the Out Of Band button.
The status bar changes color to indicate this console server is being accessed using the OOB link rather than the primary link.
When you connect to a service on a host behind the console server, or to the console server itself, SDT Connector will initiate the
OOB connection using the provided Start Command. The OOB connection isn’t stopped (using the provided Stop Command) until
Out Of Band under Gateway Actions is clicked off, at which point the status bar will return to its normal color.
7.6 IMPORTING AND EXPORTING PREFERENCES
To enable the distribution of pre-configured client config files, SDT Connector has an Import and Export facility:
To save a configuration .xml file for backup or for importing into other SDT Connector clients):
Select File > Export Preferences.
Select the location to save the configuration file.
To import a configuration:
Select File > Import Preferences.
Select the .xml configuration file to be installed.

7.7 SDT CONNECTOR PUBLIC KEY AUTHENTICATION
SDT Connector can authenticate against an SSH gateway using your SSH key pair rather than requiring you to enter your password.
This is known as public key authentication.
To use public key authentication with SDT Connector, first you must add the public part of your SSH key pair to your SSH gateway.
Ensure the SSH gateway allows public key authentication.
This is typically the default behavior.
If you do not already have a public/private key pair for your client PC (the one running SDT Connector) generate them now using
ssh-keygen, PuTTYgen or a similar tool.
